Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live Updates, IPL 2025: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson eye a flying for RR in their IPL 2025 game vs KKR at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. In a big blow for KKR, their star all-rounder Sunil Narine is not a part of tonight's game.
Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals (RR) square off in Match 6 of IPL 2025 in Guwahati on Wednesday. KKR and RR have a lot to ponder after suffering heavy defeats in their tournament openers, against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). The game at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium will be a historic one, as for the first time ever in IPL, Guwahati's very own Riyan Parag will lead RR in his hometown. Parag's first game in charge of RR ended in a heavy 44-run loss to SRH last Sunday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Streaming: Sunrisers Hyderabad are ready to begin their IPL 2025 campaign as they take on Rajasthan Royals on Sunday in Hyderabad. The runners-up of the 2024 edition boasts of a deadly batting lineup, featuring the likes of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and the newly included Ishan Kishan. Rajasthan, on the other hand, will be led by Riyan Parag as their regular skipper Sanju Samson did not fully recover from his finger injury and will play only as a batter.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: Sunrisers Hyderabad will be opening their IPL 2025 campaign against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Pat Cummins and co, who finished as the runners-up in 2024, will look to get a winning a start against Rajasthan, who are being led by Riyan Parag.
Sanju Samson on Saturday conceded that missing the first three IPL matches of this season "feels a bit different" but placed his trust on stand-in skipper Riyan Parag to guide Rajasthan Royals well in his absence. Samson is yet to recover completely from a right index finger injury that he suffered during the series against England. "I have never missed a game as a complete player. Coming to the season as not fully fit feels a bit different. But the team looks good. We are also happy to have Rahul Dravid back with us," said Samson here on the eve of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Rajasthan Royals faced a huge blow days before the beginning of IPL 2025. The 18th edition of the cash-rich league is all set to begin from March 22 with Kolkata Knight Riders taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Eden Gardens. RR will kick-start their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23 but for the first three games, Sanju Samson will not be leading the inaugural champions. Samson is currently recovering from his finger injury and has handed over the captaincy to batter Riyan Parag for the first three matches.
Rajasthan Royals will be stepping in IPL 2025 as one of the strongest contenders for a place in the playoffs. Over the years, the inaugural champions have been led by numerous captains but in wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, they have a found a true match-winner. Samson, who donned the captain's hat in 2021, has led Rajasthan to the playoffs twice, which includes one final appearance against Gujarat Titans in 2022. For IPL 2025, RR retained Samson as their skipper, along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Sandeep Sharma, and Shimron Hetmyer.
India have been in incredible form in T20I cricket over the past year. Not only did they win the T20 World Cup 2024 unbeaten, but a new-look side have carried on the form and won T20I series against Sri Lanka and South Africa away and swept aside England at home. A major part of this successful India side has been Sanju Samson, who has opened the batting for India and even struck three centuries along the way. However, former India cricketer and reputed commentator Aakash Chopra has backed another player to displace him come the T20 World Cup 2026.
